Event information

In Bad Ischl, the guest is the EMPEROR! When Bad Ischl rolls out the red carpet for you on August 17, 2025, the town wants to convey one thing above all else: Everywhere else, the customer is king. But here, he is the emperor!

On this memorable day, the goal is to stay on the 2.5-kilometer-long red carpet, which winds past the city’s trendiest shops. As you parade through the idyllic alleys and streets of Bad Ischl, a supporting program will keep you entertained with all kinds of (artistic) performances. Street performers, jugglers, and musicians line the red carpet and showcase their talents.
